The designation of Certified Information Systems Security Professional was the first credential accredited by ANSI to ISO Standard 17024:2003 in the field of information security. The CISSP Certification was implemented to create an international standard of recognition for the individual who has mastered a Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) regarding information security. It provides an objective method to measure the individual’s competence.

Public and private organizations worldwide are implementing new procedures to manage the risks to vital data and preserve the integrity of their infrastructure. Governmental agencies are employing CISSP holders to address the real threats to the security of their countries by criminal and terrorist organizations. In the quest for information security, the certification process is vital and the developments of applications are expanding on a daily basis.

For the individual and the organization there are many advantages to taking the issues surrounding information security to the next level: from discussion to implementation through the best practices that have become the standard in the industry.
CISSP certification is beneficial to:
• Network Administrators, Engineers, Auditors
• Enterprise Server Architects
• IT Managers, Directors, Analysts, Administrators
• Information Security Officers, Security Policy Specialists

To become CISSP certified, an individual must successfully complete two separate processes: Examination and Certification.
The International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, Inc. (ISC)2 has recently introduced three new certifications for security professionals. CISSP holders can now benefit from the Information Systems Security Professional (ISSxP) concentrations in Architecture (ISSAP), Engineering (ISSEP) and Management (ISSMP).

According to Ed Zeitler, the Executive Director of (ISC) 2 the motivation behind the Engineering Professional concentration (CISSP-ISSEP) which was developed the domain characteristics in conjunction with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) was to enable the team members to have demonstrated expertise in engineering criteria as it applies to information security.

Absolutely worth the money spent - took the Certified Ethical Hacker course as a one-week bootcamp. The cost includes the EC Council exam, which I passed excellently thanks to having James Younger as a teacher for the course.

Ary Widdes

I had a great time at the Greenbelt teaching location! Also I became a CCNA with a diligent yet fun instructor. If you decide to take training there, you will be in good hands.

Jimmy Kaplanges

I just completed the CCNA course and it was a great hands-on training experience. This is NOT “Death by PowerPoint” training. In fact, there was not a single PowerPoint slide used in the entire course. The instructor has years of experience and is a Cisco expert. He explained complicated topics in the simplest terms and then we practiced on actual CISCO routers and switches. ACE has a great facility that is easy to get to and the training is covered by the Post 9/11 GI Bill. I highly recommend ACE to anybody that wants to actually learn the CCNA objectives and not just be taught the test.

Mike Sterrett

I attended the combined CompTIA A+/ Network+ course, and just finished the CCNA course with ACE. I have 4 months remaining on my Post911 GI Bill, and intend on using it all for classes at ACE. I can't recommend them enough. The entire staff has consistently gone above and beyond to accommodate, encourage, and welcome. It is because of their obviously genuine concern to help that I really don't see any reason to look elsewhere for my future IT training.
